In May I mentioned how I wanted to make my own special edition book. Well, I did it!! To recap: this idea started when I read about someone else making their own special edition book. I became obsessed with the idea and set out to […]
I want to make my own special edition book
Nov 19th Update: I did it! Read the follow-up post. Last week I read a post where someone documented how they created their own leather-bound edition of Gardens of the Moon. Safe to say I became obsessed. I want to do it too! My favourite […]
2022 fantasy releases that I hope to read (part 1)
Below is a list of 20 fantasy books releasing in 2022 that I hope to read (is that ambitious?). This list just covers books publishing through July 2022; I’ll be back in a few months with the second half of the year. (Most of the […]
The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne – Good, but not great
I was really excited for The Shadow of the Gods because I wasn’t impressed with Malice and was really curious to see how John Gwynne has changed as a writer since his debut novel. At the beginning, I was immediately more impressed. The writing was […]

All I’ve been hearing about lately is The Faithful and the Fallen. Everyone says this series is amazing, one of the best, etc. Well I guess I’m the odd one out because wow that was boring! Malice is 634 pages, and yet nothing of note […]
The pros and cons of requesting advanced reading copies
I just checked my email, and if that’s correct, the last advanced reading copy (ARC) I requested and was approved for was in December 2017 (The Smoke Thieves by Sally Green). It’s obviously been years since then, but I’ve been getting the itch to start […]
